Is the AS grade added to your A2 grade to get your overall grade when you complete A levels??? or is it just your A2 grade that universities look at.. Please enlighten me =)
your teachers will make a predicted grade mostly based on your AS results Universities look at these predictions and then may give an offer eg AAB then at A2 you need to achieve those grades to get in
And AS grades count towards A grades...so if you get an A at AS-Level those marks will be added to your A2 score. Hmm, I can't really explain this coherently. Do you understand? If not, can someone else elaborate?
Unis look at your a2 predictions which are based on your As results. Also the marks you gained in as will go towards your final grade, therefore they do matter.

A levels are marked out of 600.
That is: ?/300 at As level combined with ?/300 at A level.
You need 480/600 overall to get an A, which would be called your A level grade, even though it is your AS level added to your A level mark.
So, if you get 200/300 (B) at AS level for a subject, you would need 280/300 at A level to get an A overall. The higher your mark at AS level, the lower a mark you need at A level, to get a good grade.
And low and behold, if you get 300/300 at AS level (definitely not unheard of at all, in fact its probably much more common than full marks at GCSE!) then you only need 180/300 UMS to get an A! Then you could relax a bit in the 2nd year
thats why i envy those people who get 300/300 so much.. i mean are they super geniuses??? I had to work hard to get A's on my other subjects... I dont even get 100%

Don't forget that UMS is sometimes rounded up, so you don't actually have to get 100% in an exam to get 100% UMS marks. For example, I got 100% UMS in philosophy, but on the actual paper I dropped two marks. So you can get 300/300 UMS and still drop a few marks.
I didn't get 300/300 in anything (damn coursework) but got 100% in at least one exam in each subject, which I feel is more consistent (masking bitterness...)

Ah, the joys of only needing 180/300 this year for an A in sociology
